Notes
- If the zucchini is very large it may have a thicker tough skin and can be peeled. Larger garden zucchini may have big seeds that can be scraped out with a spoon before shredding.
- If using frozen shredded zucchini, thaw first and lightly drain. You want to ensure that the zucchini has some moisture to keep the muffins moist.
- Do not overmix the batter or the muffins won't be tender.
- A darker muffin pan will cook faster, be sure to check the muffins early to ensure they don't overcook.
- Zucchini muffins can be kept at room temperature in a closed container or a zippered bag for up to 5 days. To freeze, wrap them individually in plastic wrap, then in a zippered bag for up to 8 weeks.
